Hi guys i'm in need of information on how to wire a johnson 250-888-2 mic with a 4 wire cable and johnson 5 pin plug attached already to use on a Johnson Messenger 250 50th anniversary radio. The radio calls for a 5 pin mic .

The light goes out when microphone is keyed,but problem solved. I found a old EV element that I used to put in place of the Heil HC-5 element and problem solved. Thanks guy for all the great information.

No talk back audio. On air reports are good with hand PT507-4 microphone.

I have a Browning Mark II radio that feeds while keyed using a banana microphone only. Any suggestions what the problem could be?

sorry I wasn't clear in describing what I meant but I got the information I'm looking for from Caption Kilowatt. I'm going to use the cable saddle clamps. Thanks everyone for the information.

Anyone out there ever used ferrules to make swage in steel cables for guying?

ok, thanks for the info.

Hi guys, spongbob here, I'm thinking about mounting a Maco v 5000 ground plane above my m107 flat beam.My ? is how much distance above the beam do I need ? Thanks in advance.

Thanks guys for all the good information but I've solved my anchor problem with help of neighbor. My next question is about 3/16 steel coated cable. I already have every thing I need to use this stuff but do I need to strip the coating where the big grip dead ends will be attached?

Thanks for the info I was going to use 2 sets of 3 wires but what can I do about the short wire because I have no more room on that side. By the way I'm using a hazer on this tower.

Question about anchor placement. I'm putting up a 60' Rohn 25g tower and I have room for 2 anchors at 50' from base and the other 1 20'. screw in type anchors, will this work?

Hi, spongbob here with another issue. I have a Rohn 25G tower 50 ft that i'm going to guy at the top,but my question is if I use coated cable do I still need to use insulators?

Thanks guys for all the good information. I have decided to go with Maco spec for the M107 beam. This is the beam that I use so I might experiment with the 40 foot boom later.

No special reason for boom length except a friend lengthened his and I was wondering what difference the longer boom would make.

Hi all, I need some information on element spacing on a Maco M107 beam. I lengthen the boom to 40 feet and need advice on element spacing. Thanks in advance.
